She Knetc In Whons She Trusted.

Annie was plain woman, almost ugly,
not clever nor cultured, nor rich in
worldly goods; but hosts of friends
gathered about her as she passed into
an old age, and all hurt and ailing and
sorrowful folk who knew her came to
her for comfort and cheer. She never
failed them. She always had coura-
geous, tender word for each person.
Poverty came to her at last, and painful
and incurable disease. She went
through sickness and privation, to meet
death, with the same high heart and
happy temper that she had in her
younger and comparatively more pros
porous days The laugh was always
ready, and the jest never failed.
"How do you keep up your courage?"
friend asked her, on one occasion.
II am old enough to know in whom l
have believed" she answered, gravely.
"When I was young, and danger or
trouble came, I prayed to him for help,
and it came; but then, when another
danger came, I would forget that He
had answered me before, and doubt
and fear even while prayed; but now
I am old, I have record in my mem-
DRY of these past struggles. I know
that He has never yet failed me, and
He never will"
All young people beginning the
Christian life are apt, in the stress of a
great sorrow or temptation, to doubt if
their Master really hears and will an
swer them.
did ever trouble yet befall,
And He refuse to hear thy call?"
asks Wesley. And David, again and
again, after his many griefs and crimes,
repeats, when cried unto thee,
thou answeredst me-" But the boy or
girl, in the sharp, sore pain of youth,
scarcely listens to this far-off testi-
mony. It is only when God has an
swered their own prayers that, they,
too, begin to know and trust Him whom
they have believed.
It is the custom in certain churches
in Europe to hang about the affairs the
torn and blood-stained flags won in bat
ties, in which the worshipers, by
Gods help, as they believe, have been
victorious. So the Christian should
keep in his heart, always present, some
record of the struggles with pain or
sin in which he has trusted in God for
help and has been heard and answered

CLOVER SICKNESS.


Farmers on comparatively new land
don't understand this term. Land does
get sick kof growing clover whenit comes
round too often in a rotation and saw
. good deal of it when living in the mid
land counties of England. I never heard
ofthe clover dying away or failing when
coming around only once in seven years
but have in a five course rotation and
In the four course it was we'll known to
be uncertain, which caused all the
farmers of upland or light soil to SOW a
mixture of grasses and my quantities
per acre on .'stone brash' chalk or
..down soils," was one bushel of rye
grass, 2 pounds of COW grass, pounds
Of white clover, called Dutch clover, and
pounds of trefoil. By sewing these
grsses altogether alternately the regular
red clover alone only came once in eight
or ten years which did away with danger
Of clover sickness. On the lowland and
on all strong clay soils there was no
clover sickness unless it was repeated
In less than seven years and this being
known to all who occupy such land if it
occurs from any cause thatgreen forage
crops are more desirable they grow
vetches, which crop has no equal, being
superior to any crop fed green to any
kind of stock and though there is no
second growth there is time togrow tur-
nips or rape after.

To views Of Blaine.
RABBIT Foot.

All the while regarded as possible
if not the probable Republican con-
didate in 1873 Ex-Secretary Blaine
aside from other qualities which pla-
ce him prominently before the people
becomes more and more subject of
the keenest interest to the public
possessing also most remarkable
hold on the popular heart.
just now, at this stage of the pol
itical movement, his departure for
Euiope naturally awakens renewed
interest end excites comment.
The following from the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette represents op-
posite vie Vsoi able authorities, Dem
ocratic and Republican-and will be
read with interest. as setting at st
rumors Of Mr. Blaine's unavailability
on the score Of health;
An Enquirer correspondent says:
''I saw Mr. Blaine few minutes the
night before his departure on the steam
er. In general appearance he looks to be
robust, but his complexion is almost
milk white, which is heightened by his
now almost pure white hair. There was
a total absence of color in his face. He
moves with alertness, and betrays some
nervousness. He is full ofssuperstitions.
He once met an accident in an elevator,
and now he refuses to get in one. The
least sickness which takes hold of him
gives him scare. His brother who died
recently, think the Paymaster called
him Jack, was buried at South Bend, in
Indiana, when Blaine was in Chicago,
but he did not attend the funeral, be-
cause he breads all reminders of death
He will visit the Isle of Wight, after de
barking at Southampton"
Mr.. Blaine has been pale for many
wears, and his hair is very white. As to
the total absence of color in his face his
lip is as red as healthy child's, and his
eve shines and sparkles with strength
and vivacity. He is not superstitions,
but sensitive He has been troubled
with the gout, a legacy from his grand
father, and is careful to avoid the tenden-

cies to its development. He has had
admonitions that his vitality is not mex
haustible, and is careful to exercise reg
ularly. He has always been cautious
about eating and drinking His food is
simple, his drink sparing and never in
cludes spirituous liquors, and he does
not touch tobacco in any form.
The examinations made OF him while
i'll in Indian Territory were very salts,
factory as to hecondition of all his vital
organs and the tenacityof his sconstitution,
When Mr.. BLAIN's brother died he was
recent illness and weary from travelling,
and he could not in justice to himself 60
the burial, which took place at Fort
Wayne. He was deeply moved, but had
to care for himself He could not safely
meet crowds of people, and was detained
at Chicago until he could procure a pri
vate car for his protection from friends on
the long journey to his home in Maine.
The one trouble about Mr.. BLAINE, con-
sidered as machine, is that he does not
work without wear He is interested in
tensel ly-feels acutely-and behind his
rugged strength there is remarkable del
icacy of texture. 1t would be mistake
to count him out as sick man.-Cinn.
